‘La Revuelta’, in La1, coincides a couple of days a week with ‘The island of temptations’, the tronado reality of TV5 of couples who undergo high pressure tests to demonstrate their love. On January 29, Broncano and her guest, singer NIA, chatted for a while of the abundant plots that the Mediaset program has generated: that is the level of the reach of the eighth edition of the program, commented even in its direct competence. Or as with Retraca they recognized in one of the subtitles of the program, “the debate of ‘The island of temptations’ is in La1. TV in Spain is more complex than Marvel Multiverse”
Ascent audiences. The audiences with which this edition of ‘The island of temptations’ started were not especially high. Although it is still to see the average audience of the season, which currently is around 15.4% of share (something less than last year), in recent weeks its audiences are exceeding 16%, as its content is viralized in networks: its maximum was obtained this last Monday, with a remarkable 18.5%. In any case, it remains far from those stratospheric audiences of 24.1%, 22.5% and 26.3% of the first three editions.
What makes this edition different? Without a doubt, their contestants, who have managed to generate viral content without a Price. Let’s briefly remember the rules of the contest. A series of couples come to an island, where they separate in two large groups: boys and girls will be tempted in their respective residences, and their partners will later see the images of nonsense, erotic games, dances and falls in plate in temptation. Of course, the more exaggerated the reactions of their partners seeing them “sin”, the more television it results. And thus, the Sevillian Jose Carlos Montoya has become a living meme with his exorbitant reactions to the behavior of his girlfriend Anita.
What Montoya has done now. In these weeks that the eighth edition of the program has been running, there have already been criticism for the high level of toxicity of any of the couples, but Montoya likes that imposed drama, almost an involuntary parody of the Latin character. That personality of an advertisement of Colonia that has led him to open several shirts to pull as a gesture of spite, literalizing so many couplets about misfortunes, passionate (not knowing that “breaks the shirt” is sometimes also a metaphor); to run aimlessly and finally collapse in the sand of the beach between shouts, as in a karaoke video; And as a great final number, break into the house of the brides to catch her in fraganti In bed, madness whose conclusion will be seen on the night of February 5.
A meme that crosses borders. Montoya’s clear precedent on the island are contestants from other editions that ranged from the cartoon jealousy (“Manué, La Manita Relajá”) or the passions that spread much further further and their weak human wrappings (that cristofer scream of ” Estefaníaaaaa! “In the first season and that closes the circle with the escape of Montoya to this year’s girlfriend’s house). All of them, and Montoya is only the last, have been the result of trchantes memes, along with threads that review their life outside the island and inside. But Montoya, in addition, has transcended borders: it is not necessary to understand Spanish to alone in his body expressiveness of puppet in love.
A dead end. Montoya is the perfect example of all the needs, attractions and problems of the program: it is very hilarious to contemplate its naked behavior, but we all know that it is creating show. There is an abyss between Montoya and the original “who puts my leg on me” of the first edition of ‘Big Brother’, disarmed in his naivety. In the same way that there is a whole galaxy of television evolution between the caricaturescas tantrums of ‘The island of temptations’ and the devastating candor of the putative father of the program, that ‘blind trust’ that was crowned as the best reality Spanish of all time. Here we all know the rules of the game, and that makes it more wild, but in essence, much less human.
